The Big 12 Conference has announced its 2013 Fox Sports Networks and ESPN softball schedule. Five games will be telecast throughout the season.

Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech will all make appearances. Coverage begins on March 24 when the Bears travel to Austin to take on the Longhorns. Also in the lineup is last year's national runner-up, Oklahoma, who will be featured in two games this season, including when the Sooners welcome in-state rival Oklahoma State on May 11.

Additional television appearances are possible through other Big 12 broadcast partners and institutional contacts and will be announced at a later time.

The Big 12 softball season opens the weekend of Feb. 7-10 with all seven Big 12 squads beginning non-conference action.
